    Learning, Intensity, Stress, Community

    Having just completed the course, I can't speak to the job assistance portion of the bootcamp yet, but for everything else about the bootcamp, I would highly recommend it to SPECIFIC people. To start, I would highly recommend that anyone consider applying 1) knows with certainty that data science is a field that they want to get into, no matter how difficult and 2) has ALL of their time available for bootcamp. If either of these things aren't the case, then I would instead reccomend self...

    Challenging, Rewarding, Worth It

    After completing the 3.5 month bootcamp at BrainStation, I can safely say that I walked away with a wealth of knowledge and new skills that will prepare me for a career pivot into tech. The course itself is intensive to say the least since it will require late nights/early mornings and working 50 hour weeks in order to absorb and correctly apply the material. If you plan on joining and do not come from a traditional CS or coding background I highly recommend getting a head start with fam...

    Data Science Bootcamp

    It was a really amazing experience, I can't believe I learned so many subjects in such a short period of time. The feedbacks on the assignments and projects were great. The instructors and HAs were very helpful and responsive. They have multiple work shops that help with not only learning the knowledge but also learning how to get a job and write your resume/linkedin. However, it is very intense so for that three months there is no time to have fun or hang out with friends and basically ...

    It was a great experience going through the UX design bootcamp. The course covered a wide range of topics, from user research to prototyping and UI. I appreciated the hands-on approach to learning, which allowed me to put my newfound knowledge into practice. The instructors were knowledgeable and approachable, and they provided valuable feedback and guidance throughout the course.  It is challenging for sure but I learned a lot of valuable lessons.

    Digital Marketing

    The digital marketing course with BrainStation is a good all round course covering all aspects of digital marketing. The course only skims through social media paid advertising, but gives a good in-depth look at Google Ads. If you want to know more about paid socials then perhaps look at the Social Media Marketing course. BrainStation don't enforce cameras on, so there is limited opportunity to develop relationships.

    Great jumpstart into UX Design

    This class was awesome for dipping your toes into all things UX Design in the course of 10 weeks! It is not great at deep diving into each individual subject matter within the course but I thoroughly enjoyed learning a little about all of the different topics and feel I have a much better understanding of the subject matter.

    Great experience - Missing some detail

    BrainStation was recommended to me by a friend. I found the course to be informative and to the point. We were taught what was current and given tips for advanced Data Analyst reports.

    I found some details to be missing and I had to do a lot of work on my own to understand Tableau. If you're having trouble starting a career in Data Analysis with an online course like Codecademy, I really recommend the group environment and industry professional audited course.

    The only thing I did not like is it's way more expensive. 16000$ is too much for 3 months.
